Performance Analysis of Turbo Product Codes in Multipath Visible Light Communication Systems

Performance of visible light communication systems which is encoded using turbo product codes is studied in this article. It is the first time to show the effect of turbo product codes in these systems. We chose ceiling bounce model since its accuracy with the practical measurements is proved. Our simulations are carried out in two different link distance and two different data rates. Encoder parameters are selected according to the code rate. This way, meaningful comparison can be made among the results considering distance, data rate, and code rate. Our investigations infer that using turbo product codes, higher data rate is achieved where link distance is the same. Similarly, it can be reached higher link distance when data rate is set to a constant value.
